I changed my Apple ID but my iCloud didn't change to the new ID. If I delete the old iCloud will I lose all data on my iPod ?

- Go to Settings>iCloud. Scroll to to bottom of the screen and tap the delete button. The effect all the services listed in Settings>iCloud like Notes, Contact and Calendar.
- You may be offered the option to retain that data on the iPod. Otherwise it gets deleted.
It does not effect synced media like apps and music purchased with the account..
Note that purchases made with an Apple ID are locked to the ID that purchased them. To update apps you have to sing into the account that purchased them

I need to change my Icloud ID on my Iphone,my question is:If I delete my old account would I lose my data for my contacts and their pictures ids?????Please help

If I delete my icloud account would this also delete my contact info and their pictures Ids????????please HELP

Welcome to the Apple Community.
It you delete the account, you don't delete the data on the account. So if you log back in, everything will sync back again.
If you are asking if the data will stay on the phone, you have the option to keep it or remove it. You might be better turning each service off one by one here, before actually deleting the account.

I changed my Apple ID but my iTunes hasn't updated so I can't access it...do I need to reset all devices to factory settings? or how else do I get the iTunes to link to Apple ID?

I updated my Apple ID primary email address without having switched off 'Find my....' on all devices. A 2 hour very helpful call with Apple Support solved ny Apple ID and ICloud. Later, I tried to update apps but my iTunes account is still on the old ID and I can't access that email/password anymore. I can't get a support appointment for 48 hours but need to update travel apps soon!
Do I need to reset to factory settings on all devices (5!) and start again...or how else can i get iTunes to link to my Apple ID now?
Any help appreciated!

Thanks, David. But that was the first thing I tried. For some reason, when I try to change my Apple ID back to my old email address, I get the message that that Apple ID is already in use and so I cannot use it! I have tried requesting a password reset using my old Apple ID email, but I've waited and waited and nothing has come to my old email address. This is sooooooo frustrating!

ICloud on my iphone hasn't been backed up for 2 months because I havnt got enough iCloud space, now I have a new PC if I just log into iTunes will I lose any songs or is it a different iCloud ??x

iCloud on my iphone 5 hasn't been backed up for a while because I've run out of iCloud space. I now have a new PC and wanted to use iTunes on it, if I just log in will I lose some songs or is it a different iCloud thing ??x

Try signing out of iCloud completely. That message shouldn't pop up if you aren't signed into iCloud at all.
Unfortunately I can't, as this would disable the Find My iPhone feature. Or were you suggesting I disable iCloud only temporarily?

I downloaded the British ver. of FF (Mac) but I already run the U.S. ver. – what to do? Will I lose all my stuff?

Mac user here
I'm hesitant to just drag this over top of my existing FF install because I don't know if it will wipe out my bookmarks, browsing history, cookies, etc.
What's the right thing to do here?

You should not lose any data when you replace the application. However, it never hurts to make a backup if you're not confident. This article has suggestions for that: [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]].

I recently changed my apple ID but the old on is still on my iCloud account. The old address is dimmed on iCloud on my iPad so I can't change it. How do I change to the new address? I don't want to delete the account as I don't want to lose the pictures

To change it, you have delete the existing account. However you can avoid losing any pictures in the process. To avoid losing photo stream photos, save them to your camera roll (if not already there) before deleting the account. To do this, open your my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll. (Camera roll photos are not effected by deleting the account.)
Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the new ID. This deletes the account and your iCloud data from your device, but not from iCloud. Provided you are signing back into the same account, your iCloud data will reappear on your device when you sign back in.

I changed my apple id but the apple id for icloud did not change on my mac. How do I get icloud account information to change and match my new apple id?

I changed my apple id but the applie id for icloud did not change on my mac in system preferences.
I have changed my apple id on system preferences under users and groups but the icloud preferences don't pick up the change.
I restarted my computer, and still no change.
I have been using icloud under my old apple id for mail calendars and notes.
How do I get icloud account information to change on my mac's system preferences and match my new apple id?
I am missing something.
Please help. Thanks.

Thank you Roger, your solution gave me the courage to sign out of Systems Preferences. The pop up told me it was going to delete my contact and other information from my mac, so I was hesitant to do that. Well I did as you directed and I was able to sign in with my new apple id and I did not lose the information the pop up threatened I was going to. So again thank you. It is the little things that make a big difference sometimes.

I changed my Apple ID but my iCloud won't change with it ...

I changed my Apple ID a while ago because the email address it's synced with will expire in a few months. I got an iPhone 5 today (I previously had a 3GS) and although it's synced my contacts and music perfectly, my apps all say they're installing but none will finish. I can delete them and reinstall them just fine but it's just time consuming, also it won't download all my pictures from the iCloud which is where I backed up all the stuff from my old phone.
Whenever I go onto iCloud in my settings it asks me to put in the password for my Apple ID, but it won't accept my password and it shows the old email address. When I download an app it says the new Apple ID that I changed it to and works fine, it just seems to be iCloud that's the problem. Any ideas how I can get the old email address on iCloud to change to the one that is actually my Apple ID now? Sorry if none of this makes sense!
Also, I can't delete it, at the bottom of the iCloud page on settings it says 'You cannot delete your iCloud account because your iPhone is being restored.'

I am having this exact same problem right now. I have been on the phone with Apple support twice in the past day, and no one has been able to help me. FINALLY I came across this thread, which is exactly what is happening with my phone (thank goodness, I'm not crazy!).
Did y'all ever resolve this issue? What did you do?
I've read that I can't delete this iCloud account/my phone is still restoring because something/s is/are still downloading... but I can't tell what. My music is completely downloaded (I only saved 52 songs). I have deleted all of my apps (half were stuck, as you said, and I was being prompted for my old Apple ID password, so I just deleted them all). I see a message in my photos that says "Downloading 0 of 652 Photos," but they never download/show up. If it's the photos that are still downloading that is preventing me from deleting my old iCloud account from my iPhone, will they ever show up so the restore will end?
I don't want to hit the "Stop Restore" button in fear I might lose those 652 photos that aren't showing up, but I'm tempted... I just want to get rid of this stupid old Apple ID in the iCloud and type in the right one!
What did y'all do? Hope you see this! I'm desperate and live in the middle of nowhere where the nearest Apple store is about 150 miles away

HT204053 I changed my apple id, but my ipad does not allow me to change it for Icloud, so I can't edit my account so I can access Icloud. I was told at Apple store that I could use both Apple ids, but my old one is no longer recognized. Any suggestions?

I changed my apple id, but my ipad does not allow me to change it for Icloud, so I can't edit my account so I can access Icloud. I was told at Apple store that I could use both Apple ids, but my old one is no longer recognized on the appleid website, so my password for my old apple id won't work.
Any suggestions?

If you only changed the name of your ID rather than creating a new ID, just go to Settins>iCloud and tap Delete Account then sign back in with the new name. (Deleting the account from your phone does not delete it from iCloud. Your data will be synced back to your phone when you sign back in.)
If you created a new ID, you'll have to go to Settings>iCloud on your phone and turn all data you are syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off. When prompted choose to keep the data on your iPhone. (If you are syncing iWork documents with iCloud, also open your iWork apps and turn off iCloud syncing and choose to keep the documents on your phone.) After everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. Next, set up a new iCloud account using your other ID, then turn syncing for your data (contacts, etc.) back to On. When prompted, choose Merge. This will upload the data to your new account.
You won't lose any photos in your camera roll or photo library. If you have any photos in your photo stream that are over 30 days old that are not in your camera roll or saved on your computer, be sure to save these to the camera roll before deleting the account. To do so, open the photo stream album on your iPhone in the thumbnail view, tap Edit, tap all the photos you need to save to select them, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.

HT4759 How do I change the Apple ID in iCloud? I changed my Apple ID but when I am in settings in iCloud it is grayed out and still has the old Apple ID and I don't know how to change to the new id

How do I change my Apple ID in iCloud. I changed my Apple ID but when I go to settings iCloud the old id is grayed out and won't let me change it now because my password is for the new id but I can out the new id in the Apple ID spot

Does it show a Delete Account option at the bottom of Settings > iCloud? What happens if you hit that?

HT204053 I recently changed ny Apple ID but it did not transfer over to my iCloud account. How do I change my iCloud ID? The login popup for iCloud will not go away so I cannot get into my iPad since it pops up as soon as I turn the device on.

I recently changed my Apple ID but it did not transfer over to my iCloud account. How do I change my iCloud ID? The password for the new Apple ID does not work since the iCloud default user name is imbedded in the login box. The login popup for iCloud will not go away so I cannot get into my iPad since it pops up as soon as I turn the device on and re-occurs every few seconds.

You have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPad on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iPad when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.
